Heard it from more than several doctors themselves! (Re the three hours or so of nutrition.) They may have been under-exaggerating?
I hope you are right re doctors slowly catching up with the effect of low-carb diets, and with the power of eat and metering. The pharmaceutical companies don't make any money from us low carbing though! And they may see themselves as losing money from it. And doctors and big pharma are very close buddies. But I hope you are right.
In my experience as a now retired GP the first line of attack on type 2 diabetes has always been a reduction in CHO intake. Indeed, before the discovery of insulin, this was also the only form of treatment for type 1.
Unfortunately, as I said in an earlier post, a large number of type 2s make no effort to change their dietary habits and I often felt that I was banging my head against a brick wall!
